The challenge: TheMash put together a college freshman starter kit for less than $50. Here’s what we found:
Alarm clock

A stylish addition to any dorm, an alarm clock is the perfect wake-up call, unless, of course, you hit the snooze button.
Hamper
Walmart: $9.88
Here’s your chance to discover another aspect of college life: floor space. Keep your stinky and dirty clothes out of sight until laundry day.
Closet doubler

Double your square footage of closet space to fit more of your precious lounge wear. The closet doubler instantly provides the extra room you’ve dreamed about.
Webcam

When staring at your roommate gets old, turn to your Webcam and launch a video chat with your family and friends. It’s the perfect cure for homesickness.
